Columbia Pictures Fires Up Sequel To ‘Ghost Rider’

Columbia Pictures has officially fired up the sequel to ‘Ghost Rider’. Variety reports that Nicholas Cage is reportedly in talks with the studio to reprise his role as the title character.

The dynamic duo of Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, best known for their films ‘Crank’ and ‘Gamer’, are set to direct. Scott Gimple and Seth Hoffman penned the sequel screenplay, which is based on a story by David Goyer.
